Charters Anonymous : Volume 2

If how are you doing today?

Digi hope you're ok and getting through the days. Am keeping everything crossed for you.

Terrys hope the OPK goes positive for you soon! Apologies if you knew this already, but you might find that testing later in the day gives you better results. I test any time after 3pm, by which point I read that the LH has made it into your bloodstream aftre being synthesised during the morning. Just a thought

Lady and Spilt thanks guys. Will say no more!

In fact, Spilt how are you feeling? I hope you're looking after yourself and taking enough 'me' time.

God, so embarrasing trying to walk out of the work toilets holding an OPK under my dress. Why don't I have trousers with pockets on?!!?

ooh orchid I am excited by your chart! Here's hoping..!

Orchid am stalking your chart. Looking . Have everything crossed for you. That is all.

Thiking of you Digi.

Digi sorry to hear about your scan but stay strong, the dates could be wrong. My thoughts are with you.

Charts are looking very interesting, I feel amazed that I only learnt about all this two months ago. Who knew that humans were so made so cleverly!

Here is my chart, still no +ve OPK but FF thinks today is my OV day and my temp shot down again this morning so fingers crossed for some temp increases soon!

Digi just adding to others' posts that I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and really hope things will be ok for you.

Oh digi, I truly don't know what to type. nothing I can put down will make everything OK but there is still hope and I hope more than anything else that things work out for you.

Ifat your temp hasn't gone down completely yet - as everyone says, it ain't over.....

I'm on CD9, so just waiting for SWI to start in ernest in the next few days.

I'm also considering an acupuncturist and got DP on the 'well man' tablets at the weekend [hgrin]

digi I've been thinking about you too. I'm so sorry you're having such a traumatic time. I hope it's just early days and next week's scan will be better news xx

battery I had a similar experience with an acupuncturist. Her website said she worked from business premises (i.e. a clinic) and when I turned up for my 1st appointment it was her home. I didn't go through with it, I listened to my gut feeling (I called after to say I wasn't comfortable about going to her home and I wanted to leave it). Before that I saw an acupuncturist in a clinic for 4-5 sessions but she didn't seem very confident about my various issues and when we started going for FC appointments I stopped seeing her.

dani time does go really slowly, I recommend lots of naps!

orchid and if your charts look good, both are much smoother curves than your previous month, you never know (good luck).

Thanks. Feeling pretty helpless. Finally told my mum and she seemed to think it was good news and that I just need to rest. If only it was that simple.

Am going to concentrate on getting through each day.

Oh digi I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how frightened/worried/upset you must be. Thinking of you, it'll be a long hard week xx

Oh no digi I know there's nothing I can say to make you feel any better but I'm sending you lots of love and hugs. I really, really hope it's not the bad news you think it is. You know where we are if you need to chat. You're in my thoughts and prayers, I know the waiting is agony.

Been thinking about you all day digi I'm so sorry its not better news. Still not completely bad news tho either? Take good care of yourself, won't you. Sending you hugs and nurturing vibes.

digital, am so sorry to hear that, fingers crossed that it will all be ok!

newyears, so glad that your scan went well.

Orchid - I'm pretty much in the same position as you. I seem to have been trying far too long, and have tried every recommendation thrown at me - still no luck :(

I'm also on 13DPO and temps took a dip yesterday, and remained there this morning www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3 so once again it aint looking good.
Just waiting for AF now! :(

digi I have no experience to offer you but wanted to say I have everything crossed for you - a weeks wait will be torture, but try and stay away from google - from personal experience - it will drive you round the twist xx

ladyg I have phoned another place who sounded far better and they are going to call me back for a chat and to see if it is something I really want so I feel happier about that xx

Digi I so, so hope you are wrong and things are ok. I can understand you must be so worried. Measurements are pretty unreliable though at this point. You're not bleeding or anything are you? Wish I could give you a hug.

Oh digi . I don't know much about early development but am hoping that things turn out ok for you. What a horrible thing to have to endure for the next week.

Sending you huge hugs. Make sure you put your feet up and rest. Have you got someone with you for the rest of the day?

Not good news. Baby only measures 6+3, should be 7+2. Hb very slow. They want to re-scan me next week. It's not looking at all good. I felt so positive this morning. Now I feel crushed. Even more in limbo now. This is bloody awful.

My acupuncturist will do a free in person chat/consultation so you don't have to go ahead if you don't feel comfortable. Would she do that? Can you get any recommnedations from anyone you know?

Hello :)

Just looking for some advice on accupuncture. I have rung a place this morning, looked good on the internet, good write ups. So I tried to call - landline not recognised, called the mobile number and spoke to the woman ( baby crying in the back ground) and she told me as I have had 2 MMCs I should go to my gp for investigations, but she is also willing to see me on thursday night.

You know when you just don't feel comfortable ? she said she wasnt going in to the office until later - hence baby crying etc. It just didn't sound very professional really.
Just wondering how others found their accupunturist? Should I look elsewhere??

Hope everyone is doing ok today xx

Dani you've only got 8 weeks to get through before you get to 12 , but yes, it is torture. Good luck!

Good Morning all,

Went to docs yesterday and now all confirmed all being well and correct my due date is June 28th. I see the Midwife in 4 weeks and then she will sort out my scan (all being well of course)

Newyearsday I am glad your scan went welkl it has actually made me a bit teary !! Can I ask a question HOW ON EARTH DID YOU GET THROUGH THE 12 WEEKS???? I have only known since Sunday and I am going mad already!!!

Not sure, LP ranges from 13-15 days, so could be tomorrow, could be Friday. Have even got Mr O interested in this months chart - he never normally even bats an eyelid. Am going to feel such an idiot in a few days for getting his hopes up.

I agree with Mouse, Orchid - your temps can't go up forever! Have fingers crossed for you - are you due tomorrow?

Thinking of you digi x

Orchid, I don't think that dip is bad news. If you compare it to your last cycle it looks much more positive. Good luck xxx
